A Russian drone struck the locomotive of a passenger train traveling on the same railway axis near the Polish border as a special night train carrying senior European officials, including Boris Johnson and security advisers from Germany, the UK, France, and Italy, according to The Zioneer. The officials' train was halted in the early morning and some passengers were temporarily evacuated before being allowed to continue.
The incident occurred on Sunday morning on a railway line from Kyiv toward the Polish border. A special overnight train carrying senior European security officials, including Boris Johnson and advisers from Germany, the UK, France, and Italy, was traveling along the same route after a security conference in Kyiv. A Russian drone struck the locomotive of a separate passenger train on the same axis near the Polish border. The officials' train was halted in the early morning; some passengers were temporarily evacuated from the immediate area until security clearance was given to continue. No casualties or damage details have been reported. The Zioneer's background reporting has covered previous Russian drone strikes on Ukrainian railway infrastructure, though this incident is distinct in that a European diplomatic convoy was in proximity.
